Customized chance-based items
First Claim
1. A system configured to facilitate user customization of distribution of virtual items in an online game, the system comprising:
- one or more physical processors configured by computer-readable instructions to;
execute an instance of an online game, and to use the instance to generate game state information that is transmitted to client computing platforms over a network, the game state information facilitating presentation of views of the online game to the users via the client computing platforms, wherein execution of the game instance further enables participation of users in the online game by performing operations in the game instance in response to commands received over the network from the client computing platforms;
effectuate presentation of offers to sell probability item bundles to users for consideration through a shop interface, wherein a given probability item bundle is associated with a set of potential awards, wherein individual ones of potential awards within the set of potential awards include virtual items usable in the game and are associated with distribution probabilities;
facilitate customization of probability item bundles offered for sale through the shop interface by receiving entry and/or selection by users of potential awards for inclusion in probability item bundles;
determine distribution probabilities for the potential awards selected and/or entered by users and included in sets of potential awards of customized probability item bundles wherein, for a first customized probability item bundle having a first set of potential awards that includes at least one potential award entered and/or selected by a first user, determine distribution probabilities for the potential awards included in the first set of potential awards; and
distribute one or more of the potential awards included in the sets of potential awards to users that activate instances of the customized probability item bundles, such distributions being made in accordance with the determined distribution probabilities.

Abstract
A system configured to facilitate user customization of the distribution of virtual items usable in a virtual space. Virtual items may be distributed via probability item bundles. Probability item bundles may be associated with a set of potential awards. The potential awards included in the set of potential awards may be individually associated with a probability of being distributed once the probability item bundle is activated by a user. Customization of probability item bundles may comprise facilitating user selection of the potential awards included in the sets of potential awards of the probability item bundles.
